Earth’s climate — which, despite what some clueless observers believe, is not the same as localized weather patterns — is rapidly warming. Scientists have drawn a very clear link between emissions from man made technology and a spike in global temperatures over the past century, and CO2 levels appear to be increasing at a near exponential rate.
The ideal solution to all of this would be for humans to be accountable for the mess we’ve caused and adopt zero emission technologies as fast as we possibly can, but many environmental researchers have very little faith that society will step up to the task. They’re probably right, which is why some scientists are considering more extreme options that could ultimately save the planet, including the possibility of injecting aerosols into Earth’s atmosphere to curb the mounting heat.
